A poor widow lived in a small cottage at the edge of a quiet wood, with her two daughters. The girls looked so alike that everyone called them Snow White and Rose Red. Snow White was quiet and gentle, while Rose Red loved to run and laugh. Beside their door grew two rose bushes, one with white flowers and one with red, and the girls tended them every single day.

Whose voice is it?
Your browser's own. Read to me uses a speaking voice already on the computer, so it sounds like that computer and works without a sign-in. Voices differ: some light each word as it is spoken, and some do not, in which case the highlight follows a steady pace instead. Some browsers use an online voice; if yours does, the browser, not us, sends the words of the page to its speech service. If no voice is installed, turn the pages and read it aloud yourself.
Do students need an account?
No. Nothing is asked of anyone and nothing is sent to us. Project the page, or share the link and let students open it on their own screens.
Is this the original text?
No. It is a retelling in Peabody's own words at this reading level, so it may differ from the edition you know.
